A Decadence of Persian Discipline.

A prominent official at Tabreez, Persia,
had an alteration with an English gentle
man, and repeatedly called him a liar to
his face. The Englishman, who seemed
not to be acquainted with Oriental charac-
ter, sent him a note, demanding either an
apology, or that he should accept chal-
lenge to fight. The Persian was not cow
ard-few Persians are poltrooDs--but the
idea of risking his life because he had
called another man liar seemed TO him
preposterous, as it would to some Euro
peans and Americans as well, who do not
accept the absurdities of the duelists' code.

for? | only called him liar, and now be

thing more absurd y " WE'LL" said the
gentleman who took the note to him, " he
says you will have to fight him there is no
way of getting out of it. 1t will never do
to call an English gentleman liar"
I" But / won't fight" replied the other.
" Then you must apologize. Apologize

Why, take it all back, and say that you
are sorry that you called him liar; that

acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause Ct the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept

Contest Over an insurance Policy


MARYsvILLE, January 25th.-An agent
of the Fidelity and Casualty Company, of
New York, is in this city to obtain evil
dence of the death of Jacob Gunther,
which is supposed to have occurred last
October. At that time the residence of the
supposed deceased was burned in the night
time, and in the morning the charred re-
mains of a human being were found
amongst the ruins, which were identified
as those of Jacob Gunther, and the verdict
of the jury was rendered accordingly. He
held an accident policy in the above-named
company for s. 700, which they refuse to
pay until they have satisfactory evidence
of his death, as they have information
that he sailed for Australia on the steamer
Alameda two days after the fire. A man
who sailed as assistant cook on said steamer
was identified by photograph by several
members of the crew. The fact of Gunther
having stated just before the fire that he
intended going to Australia led to the
Interrogation of the crew. The affair has
created quite sensation here, and the real
facts will be awaited with much curiosity.

His injuries are serious.

By telegraph to the RECORD USIoN.1
STOCKTON, January 25th.-Two thousand
people packed the biggest hall in town
Sunday afternoon. The Rev. A. c. Bane
of the Methodist Church South was the
sensation. He preached in furtherance of
crusade now being made by the local
clergy against vice. Mr.. Bane drew the
curtains from immoral midnight hacks
and lighted up depraved lumber yards and
wicked private lodging-houses. He at
tackled saloons, corner groceries, gambling,
billiard halls, beer wagons, opium joints,
girl-catchers and bagnios. He cited an in
stance of female carousal under a railroad
bridge with tramps, an instance of girls
midnight escape through her bedroom win
dow, and several other instances of like
nature. He attacked a local theater where
beer is sold in the boxes, and asserted that
many young girls frequented the tules at
night with young men fer the purpose of
smoking opium and drinking.
In response to his call for vote on the
question, at the conclusion of the discourse,
the meeting unanimously decided that q
grand mass meeting of all church MEM
beers should be held for the purpose of in
fiuencing the Council to remove the dis
reputable quarter especially. and to correct
other evils as much as possible. Five local

Lonely Death of a Sheepherder in tn
Hills Near Latrobe.

Lonely Death of sheepherder in the
Hills Near Latrobe.
LATRoBE, January 25th.-Hiram Robin
son, native CT Ireland, aged 81 years,
sheepherder in the employ of H. Z. Barton,
was found dead to-day about three miles
west from Latrobe. Robinson came into
town on Tuesday morning, the 18th, and
paid up his store bills, purchased some
necessary goods for his use, and, with his
shepherd dog and two pups, started for his
cabin, about five miles distant Previous
to his departure from the ranch he EN-
ployed man to take charge of the flock
during his absence. On Thursday the
shepherd dog came to the cabin of Robin
son, remained a short time and disap-
peared, but on the following day returned
again, this time accompanied by the Two
Pups. The non-return of Robinson, and
the acts of the dogs excited suspicion that
something was wrong, whereupon friends
and neighbors started out to ascertain the
cause, and to-day discovered the dead body.
Robinson was under alcoholic influence
prior to his departure for home, and the
suppOsition is that he fell by the way, be-
came chilled, and died from exposure.
